Reviews: Cairns: Paronella, Lake Barrine & Millaa Millaa Falls Tour
Guest User2025-11-13
Today’s trip was amazing. Although there were only three tourists, the guide still did a great job, carefully explaining every attraction. Because it was too hot, I went back to the meeting point early at the Spanish Castle stop, and the guide kindly turned on the car and the air conditioning so I could wait inside comfortably.★

Reviews: Cairns Paronella Park 1-day tour with Chinese/English guide, city pickup available, can be combined with airport transfer
Guest User2025-05-31
The tour guide was very friendly and explained the history of Cairns along the way. The lakeside itinerary was also great. Unfortunately, we only briefly visited each spot, but it was perfect for people who don't like walking.★

Reviews: Grand Kuranda including Skyrail and Kuranda Scenic Railway
Guest User2024-07-22
Me and my family took an army duck tour last sunday and we had a really good time. We would like to compliment your new guide Mark. He had really good and interesting comments about nature and wildlife that made the tour fun and enjoyable. We also loved other activities in Kuranda, like the Pamagirri Aboriginal experience. We learned how to throw a boomerang and we enjoyed the presentation of Aboriginal coulture. The scenic Railway had some really good views and the train to Cairns was most enjoyable. Sending love from Slovenia.★

Reviews: Cairns: Ocean Spirit Great Barrier Reef Full Day Tour
Guest User2026-01-15
We had a wonderful snorkeling day overall. The reef was beautiful, the boat was comfortable, and most of the crew were friendly and professional. The equipment, food, and the general organisation of the trip were very good, and we truly enjoyed being out on the water. That’s why this situation was especially disappointing — because it could have been handled so easily with a little care, flexibility, and hospitality. We missed the submarine ticket pick-up at 10am — yes, that part was our mistake. We accept that. But hospitality is not about punishing guests for small mistakes. It is about helping people enjoy the experience they paid for. With 86 passengers onboard, the number of submarine seats should already be known and managed. A simple headcount, a radio call, or a quick announcement asking which guests had not yet collected their tickets would have solved the problem in minutes. This is basic service management. Even better, tickets should simply be handed out during the main p
